Derisive diatribes about the state of the nation, nation states and swerving leftward

Michael Moore

It has been reported that Disney has ceded all their rights to Moore's new film. Does this mean the film will definitely be shown here prior to the elections? I have a feeling that this documentary will have a significant impact on the electorate. In the modern democratic age of information, knowledge of what's happening around the world has a way of slipping past the barriers thrown up by corporate America and the slippery oil-boys in the Whitewash House. When I convey articles from the alternative press to family members and friends, they are amazed at the discrepancy between these reports and the mainstream press. It's telling that the New York Times has felt the need to apologize for non-critical reporting regarding Chalabi and related lies regarding WMDs.
